Overall Review

Canon Powershot SX600 HS makes snapping of pictures quite easy via its Smart Auto mode. This mode automatically manages the camera settings for the given scene. Under Hybrid auto mode, you can take pictures in smart auto and a 4-second video clip can be recorded before the actual shot. These are then combined to make a 720p HD video. Another mode called creative shot mode, takes a shot, studies it and creates another five creative copies. The inbuilt Wi-Fi lets you connect to the smartphone and thus, allows you to add GPS info to the images and share them too. You can also shoot remotely. The videos get recorded in Full HD, 1080p resolution with intelligent Image stabilization, aiding you to keep the videos steady enough. Optical zoom can be availed while shooting. You can also link your HDTV to the camera via an HDMi cable. On overall note, the camera hardly has anything negative for not being the first choice of beginners.

Design and Build Quality

Canon Powershot SX600 HS is a light weight compact camera, quite a pocketable one at that. It contains an 18x optical zoom lens and features a small rubber groove at the front to aid in gripping and a rubber area at the back for your thumb to rest. Also, there is a button to choose between Creative and Hybrid Auto shots, and a third setting where you can find scene modes and P modes. The side of the cam features a button that releases pop flash whereby, you have to push it back manually should you not intend to use it. At the roof of the camera, there are power, shutter release and zoom rocker buttons. The buttons at the back are movie record, playback, Wi-Fi and menu. Also, there is a d-pad function/set button in the middle space, which you can press to access ISO settings, white balance etc. The d-pad can be pressed to set, exposure compensation, flash, display and macro settings.

At the rear, is a 3 inches wide LCD monitor with resolution of 461k dots. The menu system has been fairly laid out. As you press the function button, a column to the left appears alongside the screen, therefore, you press down or up to choose the setting you wish to change, you can then press either right or left to choose the preferred option. The rest of the cam setting can be availed via menu button. When you press the Wi-Fi button, you would have to give the camera a nickname. Had a name been given to it by default, the entire process would have been somehow quicker. After this naming, you choose which device you want to connect with, a smart device or a computer.

The cam itself creates a Wi-Fi network so that you can connect to it. When you connect to a smartphone, you just need to start a Canon application. With this application, you can transfer pics and videos, also you can use your smartphone as a device with which, you can operate your camera remotely. You can also adjust the zoom.

Focus and Face Detection

Lens and Image Stabilization

Canon Powershot SX600 HS catches a good amount of detail at both ends of the lens namely, telephoto and wide-angle. Even in darker areas, the detail is good enough. When you use zoom, some purple fringing can be observed. The minimum focusing distance is of 5cm, which though is not great, but is good enough to catch macro shots. The max aperture range is from f/3.8 – f/6.9. In 35mm terms, the focal length range is 25mm at wide-angle and 450mm at telephoto end. The optical zoom goes up to 18x. To ensure sharpness of images, the camera offers the optical image stabilization feature.

Screen and Menus

Canon Powershot SX600 HS features a 3 inches wide monitor with a resolution of 461k dots. The menu system is an easy-to-use one. When you push the function button, a column along the left side of the screen emerges. You can press down or up to choose a particular setting you wish to alter. Following which, you press right and left to choose the desired option. All the other settings can be worked at via menu button.

Battery

Canon Powershot SX600 HS offers 290 shots per full charge as per CIPA testing standards and is quite good enough for a compact camera. The shot count though goes down if you use Wi-Fi connectivity. It derives power from a rechargeable Li-ion battery named NB-6LH.

Video Mode

Canon Powershot SX600 HS records videos at Full HD resolution wherein, the quality of the rendered videos is good. While zooming, the noise of it gets recorded. After you have achieved full zoom, the videos turn shaky and so, the use of a tripod is recommended. The resolutions of videos that can be recorded are 1920 x 1080p, 1280 x 720p (HD) and 640 x 480p (VGA). The frame rate for recording videos is 30fps. Moreover, the sound does not come in stereo format but mono format.

Sensors

Canon Powershot SX600 HS uses a 16 megapixels CMOS sensor of 1/2.3-inch size. The aspect ratio encountered at different shoot situations are 4:3, 3:2, 16:9 and 1:1. Noise at ISO100 and ISO 200 is low. A bit of noise appears at ISO400 and increases at ISO800, which causes the images to becomes soft. Also, more softness is achieved at ISO1600. At the top setting of ISO3200, the snaps drool with softness yet unbelievably, the images taken at this ISO level are acceptable with reasonably good detail.

Camera is good but never buy from Flipkart

by Navin Gupta on 2014-10-28

I have ordered this camera but after 13 days of placing the order I didn't received the product, Flipkart executive are just worse they dont know anything about Flipkart. After this purchase I know very well about their logistic dept, their patch-up with courier service, their ability to solve queries, their ability to answer and many more which i couldn't describe in the word. this is worse service from a E-Commerce website, i ever had.

Easy to handle top end pocket sized Camera

by Ashu M on 2014-06-30

HI just been to various tourist destination in the USA and I found lot of people carrying bulky SLR cameras and struggling with it. But this camera with its 18 X zoom and auto settings did all the things for me and was very good in its battery performance which went for 2,3 days with less no of videos of course. IN all I took more than 600 Photos and 50 videos and it was just great. The more you get to know the camera the more you explore and get the best out of it.

The low light shooting was also good and sometimes I found that using flash worsened the matter and instead not using flash the photos came out good.I recommend to everyone who wants a hassle free camera to take all type of photos.

Nice Camera....!!

by Shashi Kant Gupta on 2015-02-22

Very nice product. I was looking for pocket fit camera and this meets my requirements. The optical zoom is very good.Also surprised with the items in the package. The item description has only the camera, but the package also had cover (pretty good but little big one) and also 8GB memory card.....this was the WOW factor...
